order by date, probably, should be default for archives.

The archives are now fully searchable again.

Also, there is a mirror of the archives at

Hello,

I was looking at our search configuration and I noted that out of a 
weight of 100 we are only weighing archives at 50 and varlena at 25.

That seems a little low as archives is the primary source of pratical
and real world issues and varlena is a great resource.

Thoughts?

Um, what other resources are rated higher?  If you'll pardon my
ignorance, what other resources is the search engine considering at all?

And maybe a short explanation of what these 'weights' are all about?  Does 
that just mean that when i search for something, archives results will 
always preceed varlena's?  And, if so, and we are only doing archives vs 
varlena, as long as archives is weighted higher then varlena, does it 
matter what the weights are?  Could be 1 + 2, no?

That's right, the siteweights are just for making sure results from one
site is displayed before another.

A search on search.postgresql.org/archives.search ONLY considers the
archives anyways.

search.postgresql.org/www.search, however, returns results from all the
indexed sites, in order of relevance, with priority according to the
siteweights.

Below is the weights. As John said earlier they just decide who's links
show up first.

It seems to me that archives should be secondly only to 
www.postgresql.org. Once the new techdocs is live and we get some solid
content on there, then we can push that up.

Thoughts?

we have 78 sites indexed, see http://pgsql.ru/db/pgsearch/stat.html

Man, that's damn handy! We should really have something like that on the
main site, perhaps a "search the official sites" and "search
everything".

Wow! That is really really fast and good. I would love to see this on
Postgresql main page (maybe linked), and ...
you do that with tsearch2 ?

I disagree - the web search is intended to favour factual sites over the archives which may contain incorrect info. If you want to search the archives only you still can.

That is on www so will have the same rating.

I don't understand all this thread. Manual intervention brings to nothing
all search engine ranking and usually produce very bad results.
Is't possible to use citations ?

Also, is't possible to group results by sites ? This could soften effect
of incorrect ranking. At www.pgsql.ru/db/pgsearch we have no manual 
weight correction and trust authors of web pages.

It does, when appropriate.

The config being shown is the one used for the main www.postgresql.org site search, thus results from that site are favoured over external sites. The archives are ranked even lower because of the potential for additional noise.

www.pgsql.ru is a generic search where lack of weightings and trusting authors makes sense. search.postgresql.org provides site searches aimed at users coming from different perspectives of our site network and we compliment the site results with the external results for added value.

Speaking of that, I noticed a problem a few days ago related to the 
scope of the search.

You can reproduce it this way:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/index.html

Search for alter table for example:
http://search.postgresql.org/www.search?ul=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.postgresql.org%2Fdocs%2F8.1%2Finteractiv...
You have 91 results and especially the results from the documentation.

But when you click on the search button again on the results page, the 
ul parameter is not here anymore and you have pretty bad results:
http://search.postgresql.org/www.search?cs=utf-8&fm=on&gr=on&o=0&ps=20&s=rate&am...
We have only 15 results and the documentation is not there.

So we should probably keep the ul parameter in the new form when set in 
the query string but I don't understand why we don't have the doc 
results when ul is not there and I suspect the search should be global 
in this case.

Regards,

Guillaume

Hm, no, it does seem to vanish. John, is that one of those template formatting buglets?

What you see there is the site grouping coming into effect. The docs are all on www.postgresql.org, which due to the weightings does get listed first, however, it seems that Bruce's book are the 2 options it shows from there (probably they mention the complete phrase most often or similar). You then see a couple of results from each of the other sites with hits. Under each should be a 'Show more from this site' link. Click that on the www results, and you will see the documentation hits form other parts of that site.

Regards, Dave.
